Brainstorm an idea as the video suggests: write down all your ideas and keep a written record of them until you have developed a solid plot, setting, and characters for a ten-minute, one-act play. A good play has a conflict that eventually is resolved (or reaches at least a partial resolution or change of some kind). For example, in Beyond the Horizon we learn in Act I, Scene I about some conflicts between brothers Robert and Andrew. They do not understand each other’s dreams as they have different values. Additionally, they are both in love with Ruth. In your play, you'll want to start with a conflict that can arrive at some degree of resolution in just one act.

what are you asking? this is gibberish.

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
